Katniss & President Barbie Dolls
I used to be an avid doll collector. Somehow along the way I grew up? Umm, not really. Along the way I decided I should save my money, HAHA. Collectible Dolls are like $40-$60 a piece, $30 if you’re lucky, and $25 for random dolls, $18.99 if they’re on sale. I used to have the complete Disney Princesses dolls too but situation got tough years ago so I had to sell them on Ebay. I still have a couple of Disney Princesses Christmas dolls though, thank goodness. Marilyn Monroe, Lucy, and some Victorian Ladies are now in my daughter’s toy bin. I held on to them for as long as I could but any Mother of a toddler knows that it’s hard to fight a little girl who wants to play with dolls. At some point, I said, “Why are they in the box anyway? Just let your daughter play with them, it’s not going to kill anybody so get over it.” THERE!
Then a week or so ago, I saw in my Facebook timeline the Toy Xplosion post on I Can Be President Barbie Doll. The inner child/doll collector within me got excited.
I mean look at that pink suit! Somehow, someday, I will have this doll.
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Guilty Pleasure
DAY 16TH: GUILTY PLEASURE – Instead of posting chocolate as my guilty pleasure, I figured today is the day to share that I like CW’s The Vampire Diaries. The truth is, I fought for a while not to get sucked into any vampire series because I really can not stand the Twilight series. Seriously, I abhor the Bella character. She’s the most worthless female character I’ve ever seen in a movie. The only reason I watched Twilight was out of curiosity because a lot of people were talking about the book and the movie. I wanted to know why. Although I felt like I’ve wasted hours watching 2 movies, I’m still glad I did. I can justify why I don’t like the female character, Haha.
Anyhoooooooooo so back to the The Vampire Diaries. As much as I love Paul Wesley(Stefan) whom I watched in CBS soap opera GUIDING LIGHT, and the Wolf Lake(CBS/UPN), I really was adamant in not watching a vampire series. But then a couple of weeks ago while flipping Netflix I keep seeing TVD. So I was like “yah know, we’re paying for this thing, I might as well watch what’s in here.” So I started to watch and ended up liking it. There goes the story of my new guilty pleasure. My husband came home the other day from work and asked if I’m still watching it. I told him not to judge me coz I’m only taking advantage of the money we’re paying Netflix, haha. I’m really hooked on TVP and if you’re wondering, YES, I’m with TEAM STEFAN. Oh, and that TVD is way better than Twilight, and I happen to like the female character Elena even though I really wish she’d just stop playing those two brothers along. Must be nice, Hah!
Rest In Peace, Whitney Houston
You will be missed. Sing with the Angels!
L.U.V Madonna
Queen Madonna is the one I’m looking forward to on Super Bowl Sunday, plus the commercials, and hot wings! Go Giants! Hahahaha 
Jennifer Aniston Eats Short Ribs In Front Of Her Boyfriend
Stop everything else that your’re doing, I did, coz apparently, the fact that Jennifer Aniston Chows Down on Short Ribs in Front of Justin Theroux is such a big deal. I chow down food every day in front of my husband, that surely doesn’t make it to US Weekly. And I’m sure you guys eat in front of your partners with much gusto as well. You’re not making headlines in showbiz mags for sure. But then again, we’re not celebrities, right?
Why does US Weekly glamorizes everything that Jennifer Aniston does anyway? What’s next? she farted in front of her new boyfriend. Pffftttt.
Working On Book #2 For 2012
I was so proud of myself because I actually finished my first book of the year early this January. It was Debbie Macomber’s Thursday’s At Eight. My mother-in-law gave me a few books to take home when we were in New York last December to spend holidays with them. Once we got back home I spent organizing the remnants of traveling, and put away holiday decorations. At night I would spend a couple of hours reading my book so I finished it in no time. I think 1st week of January. So now I’m working on my 2nd book of the year. it’s another Macomber story called Orchard Valley Brides. It’s taking me a while to finish it because I’ve been distracted with other things these days, like Word with Friends and Scrambles, perhaps? *Teehee*
So what is Thursday’s At Eight about? it’s basically about 4 friends who meet up at eight in the morning every Thursday. 4 different women, with 4 different lives and problems. I want to have 3 friends to meet on Thursdays, or any day, at about 12noon coz I like to sleep in on some days. It depends how stressed I am, haha.
This book 2, Orchard Valley Brides, is kinda slow for me. It’s actually 2 stories in one book. I’ve only read probably 25 pages of the first story. I’m going to try to read more this weekend coz it drives me crazy knowing I’m being slow with this. Another one of my quirks, of course.
So what are you reading this month? Do you have a list for the year?
Kelly Clarkson’s STRONGER
STRONGER is one of the songs I love from Kelly Clarkson’s new album. Actually, I love all of the songs in the album. Here she is singing STRONGER live in London.
Look At Me, Look At Me
For the past few weeks, Hubby and I have been watching 3 seasons of Being Human, the UK version. We like it better than the US version but we’re still huge fans of the US version and looking forward to the upcoming season which will start on January 2012. The UK version is funnier. I just love the English humor. AND, the characters are actually cussing. Coz yah know, there are just situations in life wherein in an F word is appropriate. Since Being Human is a story about a ghost, werewolf, and vampire, you can pretty much expect a lot of unimaginable scenarios where irony and sarcasm deserve a big F bomb and a bunch of English terms that are just so hilarious.
We watch the series at night, after dinner, a couple of episodes per day. And sometimes, my daughter would like some attention from Mommy and Daddy so she would stand in front of the TV smiling and being the cutest Daddy’s Little Girl as can be. What’s a Mommy to do? Take pictures of course.
